Got TCS Prime OL in April, still no JL. Cognizant joining on Oct 13. What should I do?
I received my TCS Prime OL (9 LPA) on 24th April, but I still haven't received the joining letter or any confirmed joining date from TCS.
The problem is that I recently received my Cognizant GenC joining date for 13th October (around 4 LPA).
TCS Prime is obviously my preferred option, but there's still no JL from TCS, so I'm confused about what to do now.
Should I:
- Join Cognizant on 13th October and continue waiting for TCS, then leave Cognizant once the TCS JL arrives?
- Or avoid joining Cognizant and keep waiting for TCS?
My main concern is about the practical problems if I join Cognizant and then TCS JL comes later. For example:
- Will there be any issue with leaving Cognizant after joining?
- What about the notice period? There's no bond just 3 months notice period
- Could Cognizant create any problem with documents/experience or relieving letter if I leave early?
- Can TCS have any issue if I am already working at Cognizant when their JL comes?
- Since I've heard TCS gives only around a 15-day joining window, I'm worried that if I wait for TCS and the JL suddenly comes, I might not have enough time to make the switch.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation, especially someone who had TCS Prime OL but joined another company while waiting for the TCS JL?
